Tamsin is a wise-cracking ambulant battery pack for Bo. They make a great team.

When the possessed body of Elizabeth Helms (Amanda Walsh) left the clinic at the end of last episode, the other two similarly affected bodies left as well. Dyson is investigating three unconnected killings that occurred about the same time. It takes him an amazingly long time to figure out that three missing corpses and three unexplained killings might be connected.

In a scenario probably arranged by Trick, Vex (Paul Amos) assists Trick in subduing would-be attackers behind the Dal, and then Trick puts Vex and Dyson together. Since Dyson hates Vex, this would make more sense if Trick had previous knowledg about Dyson’s son being in town and that Dyson’s finding that out would make him understand Vex’s relationship with Massimo.

THE HUNTER

Last episode ended with a Fae unnecessarily killing a human. This one begins the same way. A hunter (Aaron Poole) is stalking Mark, a homeless and somewhat Kenzi-like fellow, about to take a bus out of town. The hunter fires an arrow through the bus window and kills Maggie (Michelle Mylett) in the next seat. The hunter does not take another shot. Later, in another location, the hunter tries to shoot Mark (?) again, and hits Bo in the shoulder. Once Bo is down, the hunter has a clear shot at Mark (Luke Bilyk) for several seconds. He does not take it. The arrow that hit Bo had a Fae tracking device attached that Lauren had to remove from Bo’s shoulder. Was it meant to track Bo, or Mark? And to what end?

Michelle Mylett as Maggie, the second attractive, innocent human victim in two episodes.

Bo is not hard to track. She is the one and only unaligned succubus. She hangs out at the Dal. Her address is on flyers for the detective agency. Apparently Mark is not hard to track, either, since he has been shot at twice in two different locations. Why the tracker?

Bo lures Hunter Guy to her place where Lauren hits him with tranquilizer darts. This time he is armed with a knife. We learn that Dyson is Mark’s dad, but before learning that, Bo sleeps with Mark, Once she finds out, she decides to keep this encounter secret from Dyson. She tells Tamsin, who promises to keep the secret, but Fae live a long time, and how long do you imagine it will be before Mark and his dad get drunk together and Mark lets something slip? Tamsin has been known to imbibe a bit herself and she and Dyson are buddies. If Bo really wants to keep this from Dyson, she might need to take Mark (and Tamsin) to see Dr. Snook from In Memoriam (LG 4.1).

Lauren has lunch with Evony (Emmanuelle Vaugier) to get her to sign for a new clinic security system, something no one apparently thought would be needed until nurse Lisa (Nadine Djoury) was killed. Sensing that Lauren might be up to something, the former leader of the Dark shows up at the clinic the next day with something that sounds (from her description) a bit like Cthulhu in a small tank. She points out how dangerous the thing is, and implies that it might be released should Lauren fail to find a way to restore Evony’s fae-ness.

At episode’s end, Dyson lines up the tattoos in the photos of the ritual killing victims and walks away too soon to realize that by doing so he has summoned something.

Scott Cavalheiro (Tad, the dude whose name keeps escaping Tamsin) is Johnny Dawson in THE SCAREHOUSE, a horror flick which had a December Toronto theatrical release. It won Best Feature at the 2014 New York City Horror Film Festival. The film centers on two friends who throw a Halloween party for their former sorority sisters, with revenge in mind.

Alan Catlin (the bus driver) will be Ari Schnurr in the film LET’S RAP. Meghan Heffern (Tabitha the suicide fae from Fae-de to Black) is also in the cast. It’s a comedy about a brother and sister (played by Rachel Wilson and Brendan Gall) who are quick-witted but incompetent aspiring talk show hosts. No definite release date yet.

Alisen Down will reprise the role of Isabeau, Trick’s late wife, in LOST GIRL episode 5.7. Down is currently Kathy Eaton in the miniseries GRACEPOINT, which stars David Tennant and airs Sundays on FOX.

Jadyn Wong (Dao Ming, the luduan in Destiny’s Child who forces Trick to tell the truth) can be seen Mondays as the genius mechanical engineer Happy Quinn on the CBS series SCORPION. Wong is also Molly in CLIENT SEDUCTION, a TV movie which aired in France on 14 September, about a prominent defense attorney (Ally Sheedy) who is trying to change her image. More importantly, Wong is Diondra in the sci/fi horror flick DEBUG (trailer on YouTube), which was recently released on DVD in the UK. DEBUG seems to be part of a trend toward horror flims that make one think (e.g. SHUTTER ISLAND, and THE BABADOOK).

Noah Reid and Katie Boland in THE DATE. (Boland was The Morrigan’s treacherous assistant in LG episode 2.6)

Another DEBUG castmember is Sidney Leeder ( one of the Kitsune med students who treat Tamsin’s gunshot wound in Those Who Wander (LG 3.13).

Emmanuelle Vaugier (LOST GIRL’s Evony Fleurette Marquise) will star in a thriller titled STEPDAUGHTER, due for release on 1 February 2015. No details are yet available. SAUL: THE JOURNEY TO DAMASCUS, which stars Vaugier as Mary Magdalene, will be screened at the 10th annual European Union Film Festival in Toronto on 26 November at 8:30pm. The film features Kyle Schmid (Rainer) as Saul, and Kris Holden-Reid as Jordan.

The charming 14 minute short film THE DATE in which Steph (Katie Boland) and Mike (Noah Reid) sort of do a SAME TIME NEXT YEAR thing but without the infidelity angle and in a downtown Toronto burger joint instead of a hotel, has become a webseries (the first episode is scheduled to be online 11 November). Look for Dana Puddicombe as Michelle. She was Eunice Farrally in MURDOCH MYSTERIES episode 7.8 (the one where George Crabtree visits his aunts in Newfoundland).

Don’t Get Killed in Alaska starring Tommie-Amber Pirie (Bo’s cellmate in Caged Fae) was released in Canada earlier this month. Rob Trench, in his review for The Seventh Art, said: “Anchored by Pirie’s strong leading performance, the ensemble does admirable work in conveying a concrete rendering of dysfunction at bay.” And Andrew Parker writing for Dork Shelf credited the film with “…sharp writing, disarmingly gorgeous direction, and a wealth of exemplary performances”. No word yet on a US release date.

Lina Roessler directing THE VOW

Lina Roessler (Ciara, Dyson’s rebound romance after The Norn took his love for Bo) wrote and directed the short film LITTLE WHISPERS: THE VOW, in which two seven year old girls hatch a magical plan to kill their abusive father. THE VOW is first in a series of films that will examine the unique ability of children to use imagination to cope with harsh realities. It will screen at the Toronto International Short Film Festival on 13 November at 5:30pm.

Sitara Hewitt (the snake fae who spits venom at Dyson in LG 2.11) plays a deputy in TORMENT, a horror/thriller released last June. Newlyweds Cory and Sarah Morgan take Cory’s 7-year old son to the country and soon after that, the boy is abducted by a sadistic cult-like family. TORMENT is available on iTunes (US & Canada) for $13.
